Form 990 Preparation and Filing for Tax-Exempt Organizations

Your non-profit’s Form 990 is more than just a compliance requirement. It’s an opportunity to tell your story, showcase your impact, and demonstrate transparency to donors, grant makers, and the public. As a CPA experienced in non-profit filings, I help organizations stay compliant with IRS regulations while using the Form 990 to highlight the great work you do every day.

Tailored Accounting and HR Support for Ministries and Churches

If you thought navigating the non-profit world was complex and unfamiliar, it’s even more challenging when operating as a church or religious organization. They are a niche-within-a-niche, subject to non-profit regulations with the added complexity of supporting clergy-specific arrangements (e.g. housing allowance, dual employment status for tax purposes) and navigating religious exceptions. Leaders often find themselves juggling regulatory compliance, staff management, payroll, and accountability to boards and congregations — all while trying to focus on ministry.

During my 4+ years as a Finance and Human Resources Director for a church, I saw first-hand the unique responsibilities church leaders carry. I have a deep appreciation for the delicate balance between financial stewardship, compliance, and caring for staff and congregations. My passion is to come alongside churches and ministries, offering guidance so leaders can carry out their mission with peace of mind and clarity.

Employee Training and Support for Your Team

Through my own experience and years of interacting with clients, I’ve seen firsthand how bookkeeping and accounting roles can feel a bit isolating. Often, these positions are filled by just one or two people, handling complex, detail-heavy tasks under pressure, usually without much of a safety net or backup. It’s a lot to carry!

At the same time, business owners and management who oversee these roles might find themselves at a loss. Without direct experience in the field (and often pulled in multiple directions with little margin to spare), it can be difficult to become proficient in accrual accounting, GAAP, or even to accurately assess an employee’s performance. It’s understandable, and it’s more common than you’d think.

That’s where I come in! Whether your team is brand new or seasoned and needing guidance, I’m here to provide hands-on training, answer the tough questions, and be a sounding board when things get tricky. My goal is to strengthen both the people and the process, helping your business run smoother and with more confidence. Let’s make sure no one feels like they’re carrying it all alone!
